Back in the earlier days of comics, they used to be sold at drug stores and supermarkets. The manner in which they were sold was via a spinner rack, which was a wire-framed display that would spin 360º. Of course this method of comic distribution damaged every comic that it contained, but to a kid, it was heaven.

You know the super-heroes, right? Spider Man, The Hulk, Fantastic Four, and Iron Man made Marvel famous. But do you know what Marvel Comics was all about in the late 50's and early 60's? Monsters! That's right, monsters!

Join me in a celebration of the Marvel monster comics of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. Here you'll find the pulse-pounding tales of radiation run amok, of scientific experiments gone awry, of shape-shifting, mind-bending aliens from the furthest reaches of outer space!

There's a whole ton of reviews that need to be written but all covers are up, stories are listed and the comment system is on. If you're a big fan and know these stories, write in your own reviews — beat me to the punch! Otherwise, there's lots to see so look around and, most of all, enjoy.
